Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X35S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 35mm stroke on twin guide rods. Its integrated steel-ball linear bearing gives low-friction, high-precision travel — well suited to vertical lifts and high-load, high-accuracy moves, holding the tool square to ±0.06° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X35S
The AirTAC TCL25X35S is a JIS-standard double-acting guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. A centre drive piston runs between two guide rods in one integrated body, generating 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. The twin-rod architecture prevents rotation and carries side load, eliminating the need to align a separate external slide. With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06°, it keeps a gripper or blade square under an off-centre load.
This 25 mm bore model uses an Ø12 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports. The steel-ball bearing provides low-friction, high-precision travel without the stick-slip common to plain sliding bearings, making it ideal for vertical lifts and high-cycle positioning. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to read the standard built-in magnet.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Non-rotating tolerance | ±0.06° (retracted) |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TCL/TCM series datasheet (JIS standard). Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every TC model ships with a built-in magnet for sensor switches.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max | 50 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø12 mm); the twin guide rods carry side load and torque, not thrust. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure.

Where the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X35S Is Used
PCB Handling Lift
Lifts populated PCB trays using 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, relying on the steel-ball linear bearing for smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moves parts via a jaw gripper while the ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance keeps the jaws square under uneven loading moments.
3D Printer Bed Levelling
Actuates a calibration probe with high precision, using the twin guide rods to absorb side load without needing an external rail.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X35S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 25 mm bore when your application needs roughly 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you require less force, the Ø20 bore gives about 157 N of push; if you need more, the Ø32 bore delivers around 402 N. Choose the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this TCL if your duty involves heavy radial impacts or dusty environments. To re-order, specify bore 25, stroke 35, 1/8" port with PT thread, and the standard S magnet. Remember that air pressure drives motion but does not lock it; if power drops, the rod drifts, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Side load / torque the guide must carry
- ✓ TCL (precision, low friction) vs TCM (impact, radial load)
- ✓ Stroke & mounting face (top / bottom / rear)
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check The guide unit takes side load & torque — but do not exceed the max safe load/torque for your stroke.
- check Mount from the top, bottom (screw or T-slot) or rear face; use the precision locating holes.
- check Do not disassemble the fixing block or guide unit — factory-set precision.
- check Fit CS1 / DS1 magnetic switches in the four sensor slots as needed.
Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 344 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, TC series guided cylinders use a fixed rubber TPU bumper at each end to soften the stop. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set.
